The countries located further north (Chad, Sudan, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Tanzania) have a dry climate. Temperatures are mild (25 to 30°) on the coasts of the North African countries (Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, Egypt) and on the Atlantic Ocean islands (Canaries Islands and Madeira). The rainy season ends on the coasts and the dry season begins far away from the sea in the West African countries.
